Verse 1
BEHOLD a light appears,
The holy Sabbath day,
And magnified so clear,
That none may need to stray;
Though small at first, as sun beam's ray,
Its strength ascends to perfect day.

Verse 2
It is the message clear
Ascending from the east,
God's servants now appear
Who will not worship "BEAST;"
Four angels hold the winds reveal'd,
Until God's servants all are seal'd.

Hebrews in Egypt's land
Must all receive a sign,
When forth from Pharaoh's hand
Deliverance was design'd;
A sign, a token, thus shall be,
Before the earth and heavens flee.

The Sabbath is a sign,
A mark which all may see,
And sure will draw a line

Then wrath in vengeance comes,
The great and dreadful day!
God's voice in thunder tones,
Shakes heaven and earth and sea;
Ye living saints who faithful be,
No plague shall e'er come nigh to thee.

0 God, the living God,
Do thou the seal apply,
And from destruction's rod,
Oh! keep us lest we die;
And while the storm of wrath descends,
Oh ! hide us, till the earth be cleans'd.
